Words rarely come easily for me, one thought splits into another and then another, as I search my mind for the right words. Each blank canvas allows me to expressively explore the vocabulary of color and marks as a way to record the impressions of discovering beauty in the inconsequential. Poetry in motion is what I strive to achieve with each painting.
The abstract imagery allows for viewers a contemplative journey of the visual language. It is perhaps a path to finding value and contentment in what may at first seem inconsequential, but is in fact essential to the human experience.

I am a woodturner who specializes in hybrid art pieces combining wood, resin, and inlays.

Marta captures the mystery and beauty of her Slavic roots in her nostalgic depictions of the Polish wilderness and folklore. She combines impressionist acrylic painting with sculpture and epoxy to capture the mystery and beauty of nature, as a homesick love letter to the fairy tales of her homeland.

When she's not busy pouring epoxy and covering the kitchen floor with glitter, she doubles as a wedding makeup artist, emphasizing Slavic makeup styles. She also watches anime and K-dramas, goes to the gym, enjoys nature, and plays board games with her husband.

I specializing in hardwood furniture and functional objects. More than half of my work is client collaboration commissions. My focus is directed at dynamic, figured wood grain. The wood character is designed into each piece. No two pieces of wood are the same, and the wood grain and color must compliment the object.

Caleb creates art to inspire and spread joy, as he connects with human and furry friends, one brushstroke at a time.

I am a potter with 40 years of experience making functional art for the home.

I am a passionate, obsessive creator! “I make because I must.” Clay is a medium that fits my very practical and messy nature while the process fills my need to be efficient and procees-oriented. Clay is movable, forgiving, messy, adaptable, and from the earth. I am inspired by the colors and textures in my life, the spirit of simplicity and practicalities. Seeing each piece come out of the kiln, doused in a rich, layered glaze speaks to me in a way that nothing else does. I care deeply about creating functional work and think everyone deserves a beautiful piece of pottery.

I design everyday, functional items for the kitchen, bath, and garden. I make it for you so you can use it.

I spend my winters creating and summers selling. Come visit me at one of the many art festivals I attend in the Cedarburg and Milwaukee areas.

His recent works re-imagine nature through resins. Exploding with vivid color and unique playfulness, Mark displays surreal worlds using sculpture and mold making to create an altered, organic and intricate beauty that is both unnatural and natural.
Mark is always expanding the capabilities of the resin medium into his artwork, creating visuals that have never been seen before.
